Another day, Pang Ce came to Jiao Niang to ask for peace, Jiao Niang looked at him for a long time, and Pang Ce, who was looking directly, lowered his head, "If Niang Niang continues to look like this, I am afraid that the prince will ask for this life." ”

Jiao Niang took her gaze, picked up the bird's nest honey sweet soup stewed in Wudan, and put it aside to dry for a while, the temperature was just right at this time, she gently scooped up a spoonful, tasted it, and said without a beginning or an end, "Pang Ce, you are also surnamed Pang." ”

Pang Ce smiled, "Naturally. ”

"But the same surname as Concubine Pang of the East Palace?" Jiao Niang raised her eyes and looked at him steadily.

Pang Ce was stunned, paused, and remained silent.

Jiao Niang handed the soup bowl to Shui Xiang, pulled up her wide sleeves, leaned on the slope, and waited for his answer.

After a moment, Pang Cefang raised his head, "Yes, Concubine Pang is the sister of the same clan. He added: "It's just that although they are of the same sect, they have different branches, and they have not been in contact for many years." ”

Jiao Niang said softly, "Oh", and said with a smile: "I have a question in my heart, I can't figure it out, it just so happens that Mr. is here, why don't you solve my doubts?"

Pang Ce arched his hand and said, "Niangniang, excuse me." ”

Jiao Niang said: "Grandma Sun's drugging, the queen mother specially ordered to go down, not to spread the matter, why does Concubine Pang know?"

Pang Ce's eyes flashed, and his face did not change in response, "There is no impermeable wall in the world, even if the queen mother orders, but there are many people, it is inevitable that the wind will leak, it is not unexpected." ”

Jiao Niang asked again: "Why is this matter so unfortunate that it reached Concubine Pang's ears." And Concubine Pang, how did she get the fetal pill, she lives in the palace, it's not easy to get this medicine. ”

"This—" Pang Ce's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then stretched out after a moment, "As long as you want, there will always be a way." ”

He coped like a stream, without the slightest mistake, Jiao Niang rubbed the corners of her forehead, her sharp eyes seemed to pierce his heart, stared at it for a long time, and said: "I heard that before the saint drove to the palace, the prince called you to the study several times. ”

Pang Ce looked directly at her, not dodging or dodging, "The prince is a little unwell, so he summoned him to check his pulse." ”

"Yes, I don't even know when the prince has ever been unwell. ”

The prince didn't want the mother to worry, so he didn't say it. ”

The two of you ask me a few words, it seems that there is no connection between them, a little, Jiao Niang let him retreat.

"Master, do you suspect that our prince has something to do with the crown princess's miscarriage?" Qing Huan's cheeks immediately turned snow-white in shock, she covered her mouth, and it took a long time to let go, "No." ”

Jiao Niang snorted at the end of her nose, "How could not?" she leaned towards Qing Huan, "Didn't you inquire? That Pang Yan's grandfather and Pang Ce's grandfather were half-brothers, and later Pang Ce's grandfather was not allowed to go out of the house, and he was removed from the family tree. ”

"Yes, but is there any connection between this?" Qing Huan still didn't understand, tilting his little head.

Jiao Niang sighed helplessly, and poked her fingertips at her head, "If your grandfather was swept out of the house by his brother and died tragically on the street, would you swallow this breath?"

Speaking of Pang Ce's background is really pitiful, at that time, even his father was not born, and his grandfather was kicked out of the house, but the Pang family still did not forgive, and they had to be humiliated when they saw it on the street.

At that time, his father was about to be born, and in the winter, he was penniless, and he didn't even have a piece of winter clothes, so his grandfather went to the Pang family to beg for his wife who was facing childbirth, just hoping to get back his aunt's dowry that day.

But the Pang family not only did not return it, but also beat his grandfather to death at the door on that day, and he never even saw the unborn child.

Fortunately, with the help of neighbors, his grandmother and father Fu Da survived, and then he studied medicine with others, and was favored by Yingche and brought into the Ruiwang Mansion, and this life gradually improved.

Qing Huan couldn't help but sigh, thought for a while, and said: "So he tried his best to let Concubine Pang know about it, so that she thought that her lack of pregnancy was related to the crown princess, and with some instigation, he secretly sent medicine......"

According to her inquiry, she knew that the little flower side concubine of Pang Cederui Wangfu valued her, and the Pang family had the intention of rebuilding Pang Ce's mother and son, and there was also a relationship between the concubines. If this is a miscellaneous legend among the female dependents, it is not an easy matter.

In doing so, he was actually leading Concubine Pang to her death, and although the Pang family was not questioned together, they would also be implicated. Concubine Pang's father is the secretary of the military department, and he is the prince's other arm, if the Pang family falls, the prince will lose his military power. ”

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly widened, "What does the master mean, these are all instructed by the prince to do it?"

She suddenly stopped, and looked at Jiao Niang with a cold heart.

If the crown princess can no longer have children, it means that the crown prince is likely to change to a crown princess. After all, if the future mother of a country is infertile, she will inevitably be ridiculed.

Even if she still retains her position as the crown princess, then the next generation can no longer come from the bloodline of the Weichi family.

Either way, there will definitely be a rift between the Wei Chi family and the crown prince, and as long as their relationship is no longer as inseparable as before, the prince's position will be shaken.

Besides, at the prince's age, there are still no heirs born, which is also not good for him.

Is it possible for a childless man to inherit the throne of the emperor?

Jiao Niang is indeed indifferent, the royal families of all dynasties and dynasties, not all of them, between brothers for that throne, either you die or I live, that is bloody history.

As a woman who is winciful, she knows very well what he wants, and if she wants to be a person who can stand side by side with him, she must also take this kind of thing lightly.

But what she is worried about at the moment is not this, but that Pang Ce is now so close to Ying Che, and she is worried that Pang Ce will know the secret about her and Ying Che will know.

Being held by someone with a handle, like a sword hanging over her head, Jiao Niang doesn't like this feeling.

She suddenly remembered Pang Ce's proposal, her eyes lit up, and she looked sideways at the side standing with her head down, holding a jade pendant in her hand in a daze.

The jade concentric pendant was stuffed in Pang Ce's hand before leaving, and she retreated several times, but he held it down, and she didn't know what to say in her ear before Shi Ran left.

Jiao Niang understands that in this world, money, future, and status cannot buy people, and only feelings are the best weapons to buy people.

But—

She turned her head.

She really couldn't force Shui Xiang.

After that, Pang Ce would come every few days to ask for peace for Jiao Niang and Sister Yu'er, and when he came, he would get close to Shui Xiang intentionally or unintentionally and talk for a while.

Jiao Niang sees it in her eyes, she doesn't break it, and she won't match, she always feels that emotional things can't be forced, it's better to be like the fruit on the tree, let it be, and it will naturally bear fruit when it should be.

Not long after, Pang Ce was recommended to the Tai Hospital by Yingche, but he still often went back and forth between the palace and the Rui Wangfu, and there was no arrogance on his body, he was still the same modest and steady, and he treated Shui Xiang the same, which made Jiao Niang very pleased, and she was more optimistic about him, and her psychology of wanting to promote this marriage became stronger and stronger.
